Hello all,
It might be a stupid question but can anyone tell me what is the easiest way
to programmatically install a modem driver. (I have an INF file that allows
me to do this using the “Add Modem” in control panel but I would like to be
able to do this without the need to start the applet manually!
Best regards,
Wim Vervoorn
(1) If this is a serial modem that is what serenum.sys is for. Also the
source code for serenum.sys is in the DDK.
(2) Just copy your modem inf to %systemroo%\inf.
(3) Now go into Device Manager and Select Scan for New Hardware. Of course
the Scan for New Hardware occurs on a reboot too.
Sincerely;
William Michael Jones

Instead of manually copying your INF to the INF folder, you should use
SetupCopyOEMInf() in PlatformSDK. Refer to the DDK topic “Copying INFs” for
more info.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately this is not what I am looking for.
The point is that I would like to be able to create a program that allows
the user to simply execute “SETUP.EXE” (or something similar) and that the
installation occurs invisible to the user.
In addition to make it a bit more complicated this is not a true serial
modem so it can’t be detected as such.
Best regards,
Wim Vervoorn

(1) Try devcon.exe in the DDK. You have the source code in the DDK for
devcon.exe also.
